This time, Jack spent 30 minutes and twenty three seconds to complete the race. Although it wasn't the same as the record that he'd set before, that was due to the fact that the car that he'd used this time was inferior in terms of speed.
Had the maximum speed of the car been higher, it was a sure bet that he would have broken the record that he'd previously set. The more familiar he got with the road, the more tactics he could use to make sure that he used the shortest time possible to reach the finish line.
The crowd cheered even more. For the first time, ever since Ben began racing against the younger generation of Inchoate city, he'd been defeated. Furthermore, he'd been badly defeated.
After all, they could see on the screen that Ben had already given up on the race. He was driving at a normal speed and it was estimated that he would reach the finish line in about twenty minutes.
The moment that the crowd saw how the car was turning at the bends, they immediately knew who the driver was. It was their Driving Deity Jack. After all, there was nobody that had ever been here that had dared to do something crazy like that other than Jack.
Most of the people present if not ninety nine percent of them, were all residents of Inchoate city. This time, the roars and shouts of praise echoed on Mount Bright again. This time, it was even louder considering the fact that, the spectators were more than happy as the reputation of their city had been saved.
What's more, there were at least forty percent more people than there were on Friday night. There were some that didn't have a place to seat at all.
On this day, Peter surely made a good amount of money. After all, all those that attended had to pay a little fee. This money was what was used for maintenance of the equipment that was used here as well as prize money and salaries for those that were working here.
The more races were held, the higher the amount of money that the Off-track Racers received.
After parking the Ferrari Roma, Jack got out accompanied by a panting William. This guy was scared silly when he experienced how the car turned and drifted first hand.
Those looking from the side would obviously not have the feeling of drifting or being inside a car that threatened to overturn. So, although William thought that it was fun, this time, he was forced to respect George as he had managed to stay in a car that was driven at a higher speed.
"William, tell me, how is it?" Andrew asked the moment that the duo came out of the car.
"You better not wish to try it out. I was almost scared to p*ssing myself." William said as he took a few deep breaths.
"Is it that scary? Or are you playing a prank on us so that you can be the only one to experience Jack's driving?" Ismael asked as he eyed William suspiciously. The others also had the same thought in their minds.
"Hah…you guys can try it out yourselves if you get a chance. But, I won't dare to do that ever again. Jack is a freak when it comes to driving." William waved the group off the moment that he saw that they weren't believing his words.
The group looked at William before shifting their gazes towards Jack. They were quite curious about Jack's driving. Upon observing Jack, he looked normal. They wondered if the two had been in the same car or not.
Jack didn't know the reason for the strange gazes. But, he ignored them and decided to wait for Ben to finish the race. Currently, it was already eleven in the night.
Since he had an appointment the following day, he had to make sure that he slept well. Otherwise, how was he going to hold a meeting of the upper management of the grocery department?
So, he wanted this guy to finish the race faster so that he could receive the rewards that he was supposed to get.
He found a place and sat alongside the group. About twenty minutes later, Ben finally arrived. After parking the car, he didn't alight from it. Instead, he continued sitting inside it.
Just as they were thinking that he won't come down from the car, the door opened and Ben got out. His current expression was completely opposite of what it was just an hour ago. The arrogance had completely disappeared.
His eyes seemed lost but, deep inside, if a person observed keenly, he would see that there was sadness as well as anger. Though sadness dominated the emotion that was deep inside his eyes.
William and the others didn't care about his feelings at all. After all, he never cared about theirs after he'd won the race against them. He would always taunt them and say that they should quit racing considering the fact that their skills weren't on par.
"Hahaha, young master Ben, what happened there?"
"Tsk tsk tsk! I thought that young master was a pro. It turned out that he couldn't even compete at all. A twenty minutes range, that's too much!"
"Right. Even when he defeated us back then, it was always a range of at most a minute."
"Young master Ben, you claimed to be the best driver not long ago. Now, here's a real pro, can you even compare?"
"Hey guys, don't make our young master Ben so agitated. He may fail to fulfill his end of the bet."
"Now that you remind me of that, I almost forgot that he owes me five hundred thousand dollars."
The group kept on taunting Ben, making sure that all the anger that they had accumulated over the years that Ben had been suppressing them was vented out.
Of course, it wasn't just William's group that was making a commotion. Ben's flunkies couldn't hold it back anymore and began attacking with words.
"You better stop throwing your mouth there!"
"Why are you so smug as if you're the one that won the race?"
"That's right! Do you think that you're so awesome?"
"If not for Jack, do you think that your Inchoate city can compare to our Blue city?"
"Humph, you guys are cheating! You knew all to well that Jack is an expert. Yet, you still planned the race!"
"Right, that's cheating! We don't agree to this!"
William and the others were also fierce. But, they became even more fierce the moment that they heard the flunkies talking about Jack.
"What did you just say right now? Can you repeat it again? I want to hear you clearly. Did you just say that we're only depending on Jack? Ben aside, all of you, come and race with me!"
"We depend on Jack and you depend on Ben, everything is fair and square!"
"Who's that idiot saying that we're cheating? If I remember correctly, this race was proposed by your young master Ben. So, stop shifting blames."
"You don't accept the results? Then talk to Off-track Racers about that. Your young master already signed a contract."
"The videos of Jack's racing were all over the internet since Friday. If you didn't see them, that's your own fault!"
"That's right. Even the name was there. It was stated clearly that the driver was named Driving Deity Jack! Were your eyes blind or were your ears deaf? Maybe both?"
"Hey, I think that Ben saw the video before the race. I think that sharp nosed guy is the one that showed him the video."
The commotion was so big in that, it was only a little away from fighting. All of them knew that fighting here was prohibited. Furthermore, if they dared to fight here, the police would surely do their job well as there were some that were stationed here for cases like this.
"Stop it all of you!" At this time, Ben, who had been standing there listlessly finally spoke. He looked at his flunkies and they immediately shrank their necks. On the other hand, when he glared at William and the others, they returned the glare with their own.
After taking a deep breath, Ben walked towards Jack step by step. He looked calm now but, the veins that were popping up on his forehead as well as his red eyes showed how angry he was.
As he faced the enraged Ben, Jack didn't have a change in expression. Apart from the fact that fighting here was prohibited, he himself was not a weakling. Although he hadn't practiced fighting techniques, his body was fit enough.
He went to the gym on a daily basis. So, it was obvious that he was strong. His training was balanced making his muscles proportionate. So, he was not afraid of some young master that didn't practice at all.
"You got me this time kid. I never thought that a professional in racing like you would try bullying someone like me." Ben said, his tone was cold.
Jack raised his brows and said, "Young master Ben, if I remember correctly, this race was proposed by you, right? As for why I accepted although I knew that you won't be able to defeat me? Isn't the answer in the open? You provoked me first."
"You know, at first, I just wanted a race with a small bet. But, the moment that you insulted me, that was the moment that you made me decide to punish you a little." Jack finished.
"A little? Are all the shares in my hand plus fifteen million dollars that small to you?!" Ben shouted.
"Yeah. Something like, you'll handover all of your family assets is considered big, don't you think so?" Jack asked in return.
Ben gritted his teeth in anger. After a moment, he took a deep breath as he tried calming down. He didn't want to start going physical only to suffer more than he'd already.
At this moment, the two sides were facing each other. Those that didn't participate in the race were only observing from the side without saying a word.
"I'll fulfill one end of my bet today. As for the other one, transferring shares needs time. In three days, I'll transfer them over." Ben said as he headed towards the management office.
He then stopped for a moment and looked at Jack before saying coldly, "You've won this time. But, better not be proud of it. This….is not over!"
